firewood stacking
Log pile building
Firewood stacking is the practice of arranging cut wood for storage and drying.
Proper stacking allows air circulation while keeping rain off, typically with logs parallel and bark facing up.
Beyond practicality, stacking has aesthetic and meditative dimensions—a well-built woodpile signals preparation and self-sufficiency: I spent the afternoon on firewood stacking before winter sets in.
